The Vase

Well here is the project I was asking about sanding the inside of. My question was how I could get down into the vase to sand it, or if I even needed to. I asked the question before I got this turned and afterwards basically answered my own question. Because the mouth is so big I can see down in it clearly, and it looks rough. So now I need to find a way to get down in there and smooth it out, at least visually. After that I need to figure out a finish. I am thinking that I want to do a faded lacquer look, maybe black to red or something of that nature. Who knows, but here it is in it’s final turned and carved state. <div></div>As always I welcome constructive criticism, positive or negative.

Wow, what a beautiful sculptured vase. Fantastic. Larry is probably on to something there with the flap sander on a long extention. You will need a small 2” or so disk sander also on an extender for that job. You really did a wonderful job on this vase. Can’t wait to see it finished.
